1. Professional Development Fund for UML Grads! Here is an outline for our annual $30,000 Professional Development Fund, the details you can find on our website here! (Remember, we have this $30,000 to spend THIS SUMMER for ‘23-’24 academic year, in subsequent years we will spread it throughout the year)

Each grad student can apply for ONE of three funds:
Presenting at a conference in-person (Up to $500)
Attending a conference in-person (or presenting at a virtual conference (Up to $250)
Miscellaneous academic expenses (that further an applicant’s professional development as a teaching assistant or researcher) (Up to $200)

The funds work on a reimbursement system, so get receipts!

In order to prioritize students whose needs aren’t covered by their advisors, the applications also need an email sent from your advisor to GEO ([email protected]) stating they aren’t able to fund the reimbursements requested.

Approvals are selected randomly, if there are more applicants than funds. Make sure your reimbursements are from this previous academic year.

Check our GEO website for the complete document with fine details!
